Heyyyy! Over the past year or so, I have been trying to decide if I should write a fanfic, or just continue to read them. This short blurb is a possible start to my first ever fan fiction, not to mention the first thing I've ever written that I wasn't forced to write. I still can't decide if I actually want to write this or not. I'm going to decide this based on my reviews (if I get any). Please leave a review giving me any constructional criticism, compliments, or thoughts that you may have on my writing or this fic. More importantly, I need to know if people would like me to continue this, or write something else. Please R&R! Thanks!

Full Summary: Naruto and Kiba head off for a mission in the woods. Little did they know, this short mission had the potential to change their lives. Yaoi. Rated M for later chapters. If you don't like boyXboy, you probably shouldn't have clicked this fic in the first place.

All rights are given to Masashi Kishimoto.

Chapter One

Naruto clutched his ears as he rolled over in his bed, trying desperately to shut out the repetitive beeping. He stumbled onto the floor and groggily crawled his way over to his dresser. Reaching the source of his morning ire, its luminous numbers blinking innocently, he silenced his tormentor, plopped down on the floor, leaned back against his dresser, and heaved a heavy sigh.

My head is killing me… What the hell did I do last night?…

He tried to remember why he was so hung over, and realized that yesterday had been his eighteenth birthday; Sakura had thrown him a surprise party. It seemed that ever since he got back from his training with Jiraiya, all she ever wanted to do was please him. The little wretch resembled a leech in more ways than he could count. All she ever did was mooch off of others, cling to peoples' arms, cry for help, and hit on guys. He, along with everyone else, secretly despised her.

All Naruto wanted was for his headache to go away, but instead it seemed to be getting worse. Suddenly there were three loud raps on the door, followed by a loud voice calling, "Oooooooyyyyyy! Naruto!"

I'm going to kill whoever that is.

He grabbed onto a nearby chair for support, and clumsily stood himself up, wobbling precariously to the door.

"Hey Naruto. Whoa… You look terrible…" Kiba said.

Naruto glared daggers at him and, in a voice that may have scared small children, said, "What do you want?"

He and Kiba had never really gotten along very well. It wasn't as if Naruto hated Kiba, they just never seemed to hang out much outside of work-related situations.

"We've been summoned by Tsunade."

Kiba ignored Naruto's poor attitude, since he had attended the party too, and knew exactly what Naruto was going through. He had been the one who had coerced Naruto into playing various drinking games. What good is a party if the guest of honor doesn't get completely smashed? He smirked at this thought, then turned around and started to walk away.

"Hey, wait up!" said Naruto, as he scrambled to put his usual black and orange outfit on. He ran out the door and soon caught Kiba.

"You're such a gentleman." He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Kiba grunted and kept walking, ignoring the hyperactive, neon-clad figure.

The two remained silent until Naruto's stomach growled, at which point he exclaimed, "I forgot to eat breakfast! Now my entire eating schedule is gonna be messed up. I'm gonna have to eat some pork ramen when I should be eating chicken for lunch, then my chicken for dinner. Maybe I'll just have a second dinner! No, if I do that…"

Naruto continued to plan his eating schedule out loud for the remainder of the walk. Kiba just kept on wordlessly, slightly annoyed with the babbling fool who was keeping him company.

Once the pair arrived at the Hokage's building, Naruto quieted his ramblings and Kiba relaxed his face to a more pleasing expression. Naruto popped a few more pills for his throbbing head, and took a deep, theatric breath.

The two ninja entered the room slowly, masking their chakras. Tsunade was ready and waiting, her eyes on the door, her manicured fingernails tapping with impatience. The moment the door betrayed them with a resounding creak, Tsunade's impatience escalated; "You're late!"

Naruto winced at the volume of her voice, and Kiba sighed, a small smirk playing on his lips.

"Naruto over here took forever answering the door. I think we both know why." Tsunade looked confused for a moment. Her confusion slowly turned into a look of amusement and humor as memories of the previous night flowed into her head.

"He wasn't doing a special dance on the table again, was he?"

Tsunade and Kiba both broke out into fits of laughter.

Naruto's eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Yeah yeah, real funny… Now, why'd you call me here so early? I was just sitting down to a nice morning nap."

"IT'S ONE IN THE AFTERNOON, and you have a mission. The two of you are going to be traveling to the Hidden Village of the Mist to deliver this letter to the Mizukage."

She handed Kiba an envelope, which he quickly stashed in his sweatshirt. "It's a B-rank mission due to the hostile relationship we share with the Mist village at this point in time, but the odds of you two encountering any real danger are low, seeing as it's a mere delivery mission. You are to set out as soon as possible. Any questions?"

"I have one. Why does an elite ninja like me have to be paired up with dog breath? Can't I be with somebody who smells less?" Naruto asked in a slightly arrogant, but mostly childish voice.

"NO COMPLAINING! You two have been selected because you have the greatest stamina, and Kiba will be able to smell any trouble on the off chance that you are attacked. You've been going on missions like this for years now Naruto, you should know the strength of your own teammates. Any legitimate questions?"

"Nope. I guess I'll go pack up then." Kiba said plainly. He turned and left the office.

Naruto failed to notice that Kiba had gone, preoccupied with what he thought were legitimate complaints; he was moping about being paired with somebody who lived with so many smelly dogs. Tsunade soon brought him back to reality by saying, "I said you are to leave as soon as possible, Naruto! Go get ready!"

Back in his apartment, Naruto grumbled about a certain "stupid old hag", and grabbed what he'd need for the short mission: a change of clothes, tons of kunai, shuriken, and other weapons, a tent, and about forty cups of instant campfire ramen. Within minutes he was ready at the entrance to Konoha

Don't forget… R&R!
